... the unwary. Peculiarities of acoustical phenomena on such a magnificent scale can focus, reverberate, bounce, and refocus sounds in highly unusual patterns, giving unintelligible oracular voices to rocks, trees, waterfalls, and mountains, as well as stentorian echoes through valleys and canyons, and numen-like speech from the mouths of caves or grottos. Similarly sympathetic ... Sun would erode the sheath, sending eddies streaming outward from either side of the column in a pattern known as a von Karman vortex street. And, out of an art historical perspective from the stone age to the present, such sequenced whorls are stylistically in evidence for both their own intrinsic geometry and as an ancillary decorative motif. ( ...

... years ago. The original canyon theory says that as tectonic forces pushed the Kaibab Plateau upward 65 million to 70 million years ago, the river cut through the layers of rock as they were lifted. 100 million years ago [Land was flat with river running through it] 60-75 million years ago [ Plateau rises; river cuts through it ... .

... , the moral instruction of science leading from these previous nonsenses, will be equally non-sensical. That, unfortunately for Bauer, is what happens. Rather than being founded on rock, his Sermon simply crumbles away, being built on quicksand. Second, Bauer's true purpose in writing the book, as opposed to his propagandistic one, will be ... of the Harvard Observatory, officer of the AAAS (the American Association for the Advancement of Science) and even of that second AAAS at Harvard (the Academy of American Arts and Sciences), member of the board of Scientific American and Astronomy Today and Science News and the Hayden Planetarium, author of more than half a dozen important astronomy ...
415. The Area of Origin [Books]
... no trace of it has ever yet been found in Egypt, in Assyria, or in Babylonia. Alone among the remains of the civilized nations of the ancient East the rock sculpture of Ibreez displays it on the robe of a Lykaonian priest. Was it an invention of the Hittite people, communicated by them to the rude tribes of Asia ... had evidently as elsewhere, a religious or magico-religious significance. Its use in Europe generally has long since died out, except where it is favoured for business purposes or in art, but in Ireland and the Western Highlands and Islands of Scotland a form of it is still being woven in straw at harvest time, or in rushes in spring ...

... have of Hazor pottery. Originally, some of the cisterns were created for water storage, some for burials. In one cistern the upper, more porous parts of the rock were even plastered! This one went out of use for water storage as early as the Late Bronze I period. It is one of the earliest examples of its ... supposed fourteenth-century Hazor and a ninth-century Zinjirli). A competent reference confirms that the flourishing era of Zinjirli was the ninth century: This is the period of the most excellent art remains found at Carchemish- for example, of certain reliefs on the palace stair which, for the first time in the artistic history of the site, betray a ...

... equivalents. And yet, we are wildly excited at the prospect of finding evidence of microscopic life, if not the fossilized precursors of lifeforms, in a rather mundane potato-sized rock found in Antarctica, catalogued as alh84001.0 , and postulated to be from the planet Mars.

The puzzling augur's (Sabine) tesca also seem from these passages to have been all that was not templum, the forest-primeval roundabout, in fact, with its rocks and other barren places (see also Festus, s.v .
